Gen. LilIey and the Rattlesnake.

Gen. Lilley, who fought under Gen.
Jubal Early on the Confederate side,
has been visiting friends in this city.
The General lost an arm at the battle Of
Carter's Farm in 1872. He says that
when he was struck by the bullet he
fell among some rocks. While lying on
his back in perfectly helpless and
weak condition huge rattlesnake
crawled on his breast and when halt
way across stopped. Then his snake
ship stretched his head on flat stone
and curled his rattles on the other side
of the General. Several wounded men

attract their attention. II he shouted
at would arouse the reptile to pernici-
ious activity. There he was, wounded
by Northern bullet and held prison
er by snake. He finally mustere d
sufficient strength to raise his un-
wounded arm, and one Of the soldiers
saw the signal. He approached, and,
on getting near the PROSTATE officer,
saw the horrible situation at a glance.
He walked short distance back, picked
up sword from the side Of dead lieu
tenant, and creeping up slowly behind,
cut the rattler In two. 81 suppose"
said Gen. Lilley, "the rattlesnake was
across my breast for fully half an hour.

to move limb, and what breath was
left in me was kept at very low ebb
so as not to disturb the reptile"

TelephOned Through His Body.

Last Saturday Nelson Crane moved
the telephone at Creek Settlement from
the grocery into John Whites sitting
room. Just before he took the wires
out of the instrument he teleponed
home to his sister, telling her TO ring
Lower DEPOSIT and to talk with that
station in about a minute after he spoke
to her. The ring for Deposit is three
short and one long. Mr.. Crane then
took the wires from the instrument and
held them between the thumb and fore
finger of each hand. At the appointed
time he received three short shocks and
one long one, severe, but not painful.
Soon after he could feel a very slight,
pleasant, agreeable sensation in his fin.
gers, clear up to bis elbows, and he
concluded they were talking. He then
put the wires back into the instrument
for a moment, and found that his sister
at home, a couple of miles distant, had
rung Deposit and successfully held a
conversation with that station. and 1t
was all done through his body.-De.

Had a Bigger thing at Home.

The AVERAGE American at home or
abroad does not take kindly to anyt hing
that would seem to cast the shadow OF
q shade upon his native land. A story
told last evening at the Richmond
Avenue Methodist Episcopal Church
by the Rev. George w. Peck might be
cited in illustration. An Englishman
was travelling through Italy with an
American friend, and in the course OF
their sojournings each maintained the
superiority of his own country. Finally
the grand spectacle of Mount Vesuvius
in eruption, throwing it's brilliant rays
across the bay Of Naples, burst upon
their astonished gaze. NOW, look at
that" chuckled the Englishman; "you
haven't got anything in America that
can come anywhere near that" mo-"
moodily replied the Yankee, lit is true
we have not got Vesuvius, but we
have got waterfall that could put that
thing out in less than tive minutes."-

Geese Killed by Lightning.

II. Burch, who resides on Rock Creek
north of town, paid us a call last even
ing. He informs us that during the
storm of last Friday afternoon, as he
and his family were watching the clouds
flock Of wild geese passed near the
house. AS he was looking at them,
there came a vivid flash OF lighting,
which seemed to pass right through
the flock Of geese, and the next moment
the flock seemed to be thrown into con-
fusion, uttered the shrillest cries OF
alarm, and six of their number were
seen falling to the ground. They had
been killed by the lightning flash Mr..
Burch had noticed. He went and pick
ed up the dead geese, which he found
to be plump and fat, without a mark to
show where the lightning had struck
them. He had feast of roast goose
the next day. This is the first instance
on record, we believe, Of geese being
struck by lightning while flying in the
air, and it is generally supposed that
they are safe from the destroying bolt
of Jove.

CHAPTER XVIII.
A FACE AT THE GATES.

Never was such n Homecoming as
that OF the Duke and Duchessof Meath I:
the whole countryside came to welcome
them-Neath Castle had been for long
generations the principal house in the
county; the county was proud of the
castle, proud OF the long line
OF dukes who had lived there, proud
OF the brilliant guests that gath
cred there, the Duke Of Meath was
always the chief man of the county,
he was always at the head of every
thing-king Of the county. The late
duke who died young, had been gre atty
beloved and was fine specimen of the
Engli sh peer.
Tn whole country was ready to give
til Q same Affection and respect to his son,
the young duke. His marriage had
long been the subject of eager anxiety
and now he WAS bringing a beautiful
young wife home, nothing could exceed
the delight of the people or their en-
thusiasm-the difficulty was to restrain
them. There were arches OF evergreens,
bands Of music, professions Of children
and tenants; there was never more
hearty greeting, never q grander well
come.
That was in the month of April; in
the month of May the duke and duchess
went TO London for few weeks during
the season, where the youth and beauty
Of new pceress created an unequaled
sensation. Then they returned to the
castle, and the life for which the duke
had logged, began--quiet happy home
lie.
